CBS 6 EXCLUSIVE: FAA investigates Bull Run ‘drone crash’

DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) – The Federal Aviation Association (FAA) said it was investigating after a remote-controlled aircraft, sometimes called a drone, fell out of the sky and into a crowd of people gathered at Saturday’s “Great Bull Run” in Dinwiddie County.

Event organizers said five people were struck when the aircraft fell. Three of the five people received treatment for minor injuries.

“We are investigating to see if the person flying the unmanned aircraft violated any FAA regulations, particularly the part that says ‘No person may operate an aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another,'” the FAA said in a statement.
